3.6 Volt Versa-Pak Batteries and Chargers
This instruction manual covers the VP130 two-port chargers and
VP100 batteries. Note: VP100 batteries are NiCd cells. See
charging instructions below:
Important Safety Instructions (For Battery and Charger)
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precau-
tions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store -or- carry battery such that metal objects can
contact exposed metal end. For example, do not place bat-
tery in aprons, tool boxes, pockets, drawers, desk, etc… with
loose nails, screws, keys, etc…without battery cap. Battery
could short circuit causing fire, burns, or damage to the bat-
tery.
Battery caps are provided for use when carrying batteries -or-
while battery is stored in a pocket, tool box, drawer, etc…
Remove cap before placing battery in charger -or- tool.
Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the housing
of the battery breaks -or- cracks, immediately discontinue use
and do not recharge.
Do not incinerate the batteries as they can explode in a fire. A
small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging, or temperature conditions. This
does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken
and this leakage contacts your skin:
a.) Wash quickly with soap and water;
b.) Neutralize with a mild acid such as vinegar -or- lemon
juice.
c.) If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean
water for a minimum of ten (10) minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
Medical Note: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.
Charge batteries only with Versa-Pak battery charger.
Do not use charger in wet –or- damp conditions. It is intended
for indoor use only. Do not use near sinks, tubs, etc… Do not
immerse in water.
Do not use the charger for any uses other than charging Versa-
Pak batteries. Other batteries may explode.
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord –or- plug…have
them replaced immediately.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in anyway; contact your quali-
fied Eastman representative for service.
Do not disassemble charger; contact your qualified Eastman
representative when service -or- repair is required. Incorrect
assembly may result in risk of electric shock -or- fire. There are
no consumer serviceable parts inside.
For best results, do not charge batteries when they -or- the air
temperature is BELOW +40 degrees Fahrenheit -or- ABOVE
+105 degrees Fahrenheit.
The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
Unplug charger when not in use.
Do not abuse charger cord. To reduce the risk of damage to the
electric plug and cord, never carry charger by cord –or- sharply
pull it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep charger cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Use only charger supplied by Eastman to recharge.
Important Charging Notes:
While charging, the charger transformer may hum with the
batteries and charger becoming warm. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
If a battery does not charge properly – 1.) Check current at
receptacle by plugging in a lamp –or- other appliance; 2.)
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch that
turns power off when you turn out the lights; 3.) Move charger
and batteries to a surrounding air temperature between +40 to
+105 degrees Fahrenheit; 4.) If the receptacle and tempera-
ture are satisfactory, and you do not get proper charging, take
–or- send the batteries and charger to your local Eastman
representative for service.
The batteries should be recharged when they fail to produce
sufficient power on jobs that were easily performed previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE to use the machine with its batteries in a
depleted condition.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Charging Procedure (VP130 Two Port Charger plugs directly
into the Wall Outlet)
Insert the metal end of the Versa-Pak battery into the charger.
The indicator light will glow indicating that charging is taking place
and will remain on as long as the battery is in the charger.
Continuous charging is not a safety concern.
NOTE: Your Versa-Pak batteries are sent in an uncharged
condition. Before attempting to use them for the first time, they
must be charged for 6 hours for conventional NiCd batteries
(silver label) and 9 hours for NiMH batteries (gold label). Subse-
quent charging will require 3-6 hours for silver labeled and 6-9
hours for gold-labeled batteries.
The RBRC Seal
The RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal
on the NiCd battery (or battery pack) indicates that costs to
recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life
have already been paid. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent
NiCd batteries in the trash –or- municipal solid waste streams.
The RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious
alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with other battery users, has established
programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the
collection of spent NiCd batteries. Help protect our environment
and conserve natural resources by returning the spent NiCd
battery to your local recycling center. You may also contact your
local recycling center for information on where to drop off the
spent battery, or call 1-800-8-Battery.
